Techie Adria Richards was fired a few days ago by SendGrid after tweeting about two men's comments at the PyCon tech conference.
What we can learn from all those overreactions? That the dark side of all this Social Networks and the connected technology we enjoy today, is that you can never truly know the consequences of a tweet or post, at least until the last social media channel deliver their last comment.
And the impact is truly ”the butterfly effect” for Adria Richards, with threats against Richards and a distributed denial of service attack against SendGrid's website.
In my opinion, the best comment about all this is from Amanda Blum, otherwise you can follow the viral effect on Forbes, VentureBeat, CBS, PC Magazine and many more.
